gedit to Geany

I’ve decided lately to switch from gedit to Geany as the default editor. I had done this before and really liked it (I didn’t want to set it up again because I didn’t remember all the settings I had changed). Geany is more religious how it handles text and I can’t really define it better than that. All I remember is that there were some odd quirks when I adjusted to gedit like selecting text; also Geany just runs beautiful, real light. Geany is a actually an IDE (an integrated development environment) so it’s more than a text editor but it can be pruned down to feel like a basic text editor and it just runs very very nice.

Settings

To get Geany to behave and feel like gedit a number of setting changes will need to be made. To make changes open up the preferences (Edit > Preferences) and change these settings in the Tabs:

Change Colorscheme

Note: To get colorscheme support to work properly it may be necessary to install the latest version of Geany. If I understand correctly this is part the development (a.k.a. master?)‘ branch. Nightly builds for various systems can be found here.

Colorscheme support in Geany is still rudimentary. Thankfully a fellow named codebrain has done a lot of the work and it is easy. Much appreciate the work codebrain, thank you.

Try Leafpad. For a simple down-n-dirty text editor its very clean and light. I like Geany, especially when viewing structured (e.g. code and script) files, but for just taking a quick look at a text file (readmes, etc.) or just having a scratch pad for some notes, leafpad is fantastic.

I did however expertise a few technical points using this site, as I experienced to reload the web site a lot of times previous to I could get it to load properly.

@vlad: If you want a list of advantages, you can start with some of the features that Todd turned off: virtual terminal emulation, line numbers, markers, compile/execute/build integration, advanced Find options. Plus some that he enabled, like stripping trailing whitespace.

I could add a swag of others, like commenting/uncommenting; selecting/duplicating/deleting/transposing entire (or multiple) lines; converting between spaces and tabs in existing documents; easily-customisable keybindings; snippets; Recent Files list of up to size 50; jumping between function declarations and definitions; and plugins that give version control integration, tree-style file browsing, XML pretty-printing, web previews, optional non-intrusive project management…and it’s still only about 10MB and very fast.

Having a little trouble with theme colors (“colours” :^) having no effect. They appear in the menu, one can select a theme, restart the program, whatever, makes no diff. No change in appearance. Any tips?

are not already. Cheers!
